Magnets

When magnets are placed the right way

They connect

When they're placed the wrong way

They use everything in their power to stay away

From each other

They resist

With a force

That I do not know the name of

But I admire

It takes strength to resist

Especially when its expected

Of you to obey

Sometimes the magnets get to escape from each others grasp

And sometimes one magnet

Is stronger than the other

And they become bound together

Whether they want to

Or not

But what if

Dozens of magnets

Resisted

Against the one

And used the force

That I don't know the name of

Because dozens

Are stronger than one

    Can I go back

    Back to the place I call home

    Full of laughter and love

    The place where I sleep above my friend

    As I'm surrounded by so many others

    An apple is

    A reminder

    A token to bring you back

    To the day in the orchard

    When you were six years old

    Sitting on your dad's shoulders

    Reaching for an apple

    That you had decided was perfect
